House built 1932. Everything's old. The space where the shower tile meets the tub needs recaulking. After I get all the old stuff off, is there anything I can use to fill that space before I caulk? Can I put some grout in there so I don't go through so much caulk? Seems like since I have to put it on so thick, it might not ever cure.
Gap seems big for caulk - help!

You guys ARE good. Thanks!
It comes in several sizes. Measure your gap first.
Yep. they sell some foam ropelike material for that. ACE hardware has it. I do not recall the name of the stuff.
----- Famous saying !!! When you put your caulk in a hole, be sure your caulk is hard
